In a particularly difficult economic context for companies and citizens, the new bonus was designed to support the purchasing power of employees and can also be used to reimburse water, electricity and gas bills.
There are also workers from the Marcianise plant among the almost 1700 collaborators of Coca-Cola HBC Italia who, from October 2022, will receive a bonus of €800 that can be spent through the company welfare platform on a series of services, including reimbursement of water, electricity and gas bills (as soon as the proposals of the DL Aiuti Bis are confirmed by the Revenue Agency).
This option is in fact contemplated by the Aiuti-bis decree-law n. 115 of 2022, which provides for the possibility for employers to provide their employees with targeted financial contributions, aimed at dealing with increases in energy bills.
The new bonus, which intends to be a sign of closeness of Coca-Cola HBC Italia to its people in a particularly difficult period due to the increase in the cost of raw materials and the increase, will therefore strengthen the purchasing power of the beneficiaries, who will be able to use it not only for bills, but also for fuel vouchers, reimbursements for school or assistance expenses and for recreational activities.
The company has also made available an online welfare desk and a series of training sessions to allow all employees involved to make the best use of the credit received.
“At Coca-Cola HBC Italia we listen to the needs of our collaborators and consider their well-being a further fundamental factor. This welfare bonus of €800 is a tangible sign of the attention to our people, which is added to the various measures put in place. It is also an act for the difficult months of the pandemic.
We appreciate the decision of Coca-Cola HBC Italia to provide specific and important economic relief to the workers of the group at a time when the devotion and the increase in energy costs are eroding wages and decreasing the spending capacity of families" declare Alessandro Anselmi, Angelo Paolella and Michele Tartaglione for the national secretariats of Fai-Cisl, Flai-Cgil and Uila-Uil.
“A result of union demands and the system of relations built over the years. The next step is to seek, together, further important answers for the group's employees in the imminent opening of the discussion for the renewal of the second level supplementary contract.”
This new bonus is part of a broader corporate wellness plan by Coca-HBC Italia that includes at least 12 days of smart working per month, a Smart Working Etiquette to guide colleagues on the correct management and remote working, one to receive psychological support, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), where employees and their families can help with personal and work-related questions, and training dedicated to managers to provide them with the skills needed to monitor and save the team's psychophysical well-being.
